Imagine if they were allowed to eat cows.....

They would have had organised agriculture, no malnutrition and no God animals walking around, defecating in water sources, destroying pastures, blocking roads, and overgrazing.

Instead, they are Hindus...

And because of this their country and society is ruined.

You can easily look to rural China for proof that the Indian culture is defective.

China has a greater population and also has hundreds of millions of people living in severe poverty outside of the major cities like Beijing and Shanghai. They haven't got plumbing or electricity.

Yet, they aren't in slums and they aren't starving to death and they have dams for water supply. Indians believe the Ganges river is holy and you can't divert it or dam it, just dump the bodies of your dead relatives in it in order to send them to reincarnation. And spread disease.

I wonder if the Indians at the top of the caste system secretly eat beef. It fits with their culture of thriftiness. It fits with their smug and smarmy "you get what you deserve, not what you earn, based on your caste". Hoarding all the food for themselves and letting others starve because karma will fix it later.

Imaging if their culture had salvation through works, not through faith. And cows werent God. And the Ganges was just a river.

They would probably be a much less sh1ttier country with a much less sh1ttier attitude and cultural outlook.

Good post. India just has too many gods and hangups.

That's not accurate.

On paper China has a central planning committee.

In reality it has over a billion people and of them, over 500 million are rural.

You don't know the subject at all.

This is like saying Australia can defend itself because the Australian military has the word defence in its official title.

This is not true.

This is waffle. This is implied knowledge.

You don't have this knowledge. The implication is you know this topic. The facts are you don't.

The facts are India has an unmanageable population due to size and cultural factors.

China has a population more organized because it does not have these cultural factors.

They both have governments. They both have planning agencies. All nations do.

I don't know why are talking about former failed empires right now.

Culture is extremely important on a macro scale.

It is collective consciousness and how a nation functions as a whole. Cultural disharmony leads to instability and potentially civil war.

Because history explains current events.

Do you think that the failure of Aurangzeb's successor to maintain a centralised authority over the Indian subcontinent was due the culture of the Mughals, or because of governing institutions? Never mind that they had managed to exert centralised authority over the Indian subcontinent just decades before Aurangzeb.
